As a Greenville, SC-based heirloom portrait specialist, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless milestones for families. While newborn portraits are undoubtedly precious, there’s one session that holds a special place in my heart: the sitter session. This magical phase happens when your baby can sit up unassisted—typically around 6 to 9 months old—but isn’t […]

Photographing toddlers can sometimes be a bit of an adventure—but not with sweet Ann Thomas! This adorable 18-month-old lit up my Greenville, SC photography studio with her big smiles and happy energy, making her heirloom portrait session an absolute breeze.

There’s nothing more special than seeing familiar faces return to the studio, and I had the absolute joy of photographing Rosie and her little sister Mary Margaret for a recent heirloom portrait session.

I love this sweet family so much! I’ve been photograhping their family since big sister was 2 and we did her heirloom portrait! Since then, I’ve photographed baby #2, sweet Bishop who also came in for his portrait at 2 years old, and sweet baby Josie, the littlest sister of the bunch.

Sweet Lanie has been coming to the studio since day ONE! I did her newborn session, as well as her one year portrait (which you can see here!) and now her 3 year old portrait! She was a little shy and unsure at first for this session, but with a few silly tricks we got her smiling and laughing.

One and Three are two of my favorite ages for portraits, and it’s ideal ages to have photographed if you plan to do multiple portrait sessions. I love seeing the change between these years!

Sweet Henry came in to celebrate his first birthday milestone with an Heirloom Portrait session. I LOVE photographing babies at this age for this session type. It makes for such a special heirloom and keepsake when littles are making the transition from baby to toddler.

Maren & Coast are a part of my First Year Collective membership. This membership includes 3 milestone sessions. The first, a newborn session capturing all the tiny details of your brand new baby (or babies in their case!), then a milestone “sitter” session when little ones are old enough to sit independently (which is what this session is!), and a final capstone session to mark one whole YEAR and celebrate baby’s first birthday.

Sweet Charlie came to see me in my Greenville, SC studio all the way from the South Carolina coast! I’m always honored when families go to great lengths to come for their portrait session. I take so much pride in doing really high quality work, and to me, this shows me that my clients really value and can SEE how much joy and love and perfection I put into my work.

Walker was a little over two weeks old for his lifestyle newborn session in his Greenville, SC home. It was a beautiful, sunny March morning and I loved finally meeting the sweet baby boy whose arrival I’d been anticipating since we did his maternity session in Falls Park.

Sweet George travelled in from Augusta, GA for his session, and I’m so glad he made the trip with his family! His range of expressions was truly incredible, and he is clearly a joyful and happy little baby.

Sweet Storie is 2 years old and came to see me for her heirloom portrait session. Her mom wasn’t sure if she’d be able to sit still for her session, but I assured her it’s rare I don’t get what I need. Storie showed out, and gave us the most precious range of expressions! I love the mix of smiles and serious faces her mama chose, and especially love that sweet profile image.

Mary Claire came for her heirloom portrait session, and was being the most ADORABLE little photo subject and loving the camera. When we finished capturing her Heirloom Portraits, her mom said “oh man, now I really wish we’d added on the Lifestyle option!”
